Ethiopia’s Abera glad to sign for USL Super League side DC Power FC
Ethiopia’s top female player Geinore Loza Abera has said she is happy to finally sign for a team in the First Division United States Professional League.
DC Power FC who will make their inaugural 2024/2025 USL Super League season on September 13th announced Loza Abera’s signing last week.
“I am very happy to finally sign a contract with DC Power FC and I will work hard to help the team win matches and Cups,” says Loza Abera who has captained Ethiopia’s women’s teams at all levels.
The top striker last year moved from Commercial Bank of Ethiopia to join USL Women’s League Virginia Marauders FC.
Frédéric Brillant, the DC Power FC head coach says they are very happy to add Loza Abera to their team. “We are pleased to add Loza to our ranks for the upcoming season. Along with being an outlet up top, Loza finds the back of the net on a consistent basis. She will be a welcomed addition to our team and will be an asset in the final third,” added the coach.
The Club President Jordan Stuart also praised Loza as an extremely talented player who adds creativity and a nose for goal on the attacking end of the field. “She has shown great leadership captaining her country and being at the forefront of African football on the world stage,” he added.
The 26-year old Loza was top scorer in 2021 and 2022 during the Zonal CAF Women’s Champions League qualifiers in Nairobi and Tanzania respectively.
